Lyrics for An Acre Lost

Oh, the first day, Sunday feels like some other life The dark wake of a troubled heart The wretched is rad, yeah, a cool new way of life Where are the real tough kids just tragically die Don't kid yourself Don't kid anyone else An acre lost, taken away An acre gained, but not by you If I should wake before I die Knock me out, for heaven's sake An acre lost, fading away An acre gained, the joke's on you If I should wake before I die Knock me out, for heaven's sake I can see the exit signs right behind your eyes I can see the thunder clouds come rolling in And all the real tough kids with high IQs Tragically die, tragically Don't kid yourself Don't kid anyone else An acre lost, taken away An acre gained, but not by you If I should wake before I die Knock me out, for heaven's sake An acre lost, fading away An acre gained, the joke's on you If I should wake before I die Knock me out, for heaven's sake Don't kid yourself Don't kid anyone else Don't kid yourself Don't kid anyone else Don't kid yourself Don't kid anyone else Carry strength and blow it away Blow it away An acre lost, taken away An acre gained, but not by you If I should wake before I die Knock me out, for heaven's sake An acre lost, fading away An acre gained, the joke's on you If I should wake before I die Knock me out, for heaven's sake
